Mostly due to the whiteboard markers not being my weapon of choice, but also because I don&#8217;t really care for the canon design. If you haven&#8217;t seen the Unfee for yourself, here&#8217;s the image straight from our website:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.torrentialequilibrium.net\/images\/Unfee.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a terrible design or anything, but if you&#8217;ve seen the <a title=\"Unfee Commercial\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vBcdIAlfNC0\">commercial<\/a> (which, admittedly, is visually atrocious), or any of our more recent Unfee ads, you&#8217;ll notice that his design doesn&#8217;t work too well with many poses besides that one there. I have a great deal of respect for Cambrian (and I&#8217;m not just saying that so I don&#8217;t get fired for picking on the marketing department&#8217;s baby), and I think it&#8217;s a great promotion for a great service, but he&#8217;s just too awkward, and not in a fun way that works. I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time doodling Unfee, and I can never create something that looks good without betraying the original design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So yeah. I&#8217;m pretty pleased with my whiteboard, and so are my co-workers. Also, if you don&#8217;t bank at Cambrian, you should go open an account there. And tell them Ryan referred you.
